Yes, the RC30 is the one from the Joey's Bar.

I can see them (quite rightly) fetching serious money, especially the iconic and seriously gorgeous 1988 RC30.

The picture is from the 2016 London Excel Bike Show.

Yup

The most famous RC30 on the planet.

Well they sold for strong money, although I thought they would probably fetch more.

Whilst I’m not surprised that the RC30 fetched 50% more than the RC45, I too thought they would achieve substantially more.

My family are massive Dunlop fans and I had an oil painting done a few years ago of Joey on the 88 RC30 in the Senior that sits proudly on my lounge wall.

Shows how soft the market is. I’d have to have the 45. A 50% better looking and performing bike for 50% less cash
